  • ^^ Shogun looks excellent. Wonderful restoration there. Did you not look at the option of painting the old tail panels or even 2nd hand might have come handy?

      Thanks sir,

      No no those are old tail panels and side panels... they were already made of metal when we bought it. Repainted the old ones.

          lol...

          Even I couldn't believe about the metal panels when I went to buy the bike, but the previous owner did fabricate the panels with metal, and had done a fantastic job.

          • sriram,

            shogun,shares same samurai's body pannel kit .since it was plastic and tends to break easily people came with solution for fabricating the side shields and tail pannel with sheet metal.(like ax100 side shields metal one)

              1995 make, fabricated metal side panels and rear tail piece. Rare OE shogun pistons luckily found (so bought all sizes, STD - 0.5 - 1.0). With the NGK 8bphs.

              Went a lot of hard-work for the rebuild but its paid off well.

              Cheers !
              The Shogun is looking great and the fabricated tail piece is nice. Looks like a OE

                  No. they were fabricated in metal in this case. Originally they were ABS.

                    Of course not sir... I bought the bike from someone who had removed the plastic ones, and got these panels made in metal for the bike. We just repaired the dents and weldings and repainted them.

                      Thanks Dinesh, it sure does look good but I wouldn't say like a OE. near match though close enough. Only when someone sees it detailed, they would then come to know its fabricated.
